Here’s what you can expect:

 

🎵 Worship that lifts our hearts to Jesus

🙏 Prayer that invites God to move in our lives

📖 A message that speaks truth and brings hope

❓ Question & Response time where you can dig deeper

🤝 A space where walls come down and hearts open up

Join us this Tuesday—you don’t want to miss it.

Prayer

Prayer

Prayer is a core value at city.light church.

 

We gather every week to intentionally seek Jesus and pray for one another. Here’s when you can join us:

 

🕔 Saturday Prayer Service – 5pm

🎶 Friday Worship & Prayer – 9am

 

 

We believe in the power of prayer and never want a week to go by without lifting each other up.

 

Water Baptisms

💧 Baptism

 

Baptism is a powerful step of obedience and a public declaration of a life changed by Jesus. It represents leaving the old behind and stepping into the new life He has given you.

 

Whether you’ve recently made a decision to follow Christ or you’ve been walking with Him for a while and haven’t taken this step yet—baptism is for you.

 

If you’re ready to go public with your faith, we’d love to celebrate with you.

Firm Foundation

A Study of 12 Truths Every Believer Must Know

 

In a world where everything feels uncertain, shifting, and constantly changing, one question rises to the surface: what are we really building our lives on?

 

“Firm Foundation” is a call to come back to what matters most—the unshakable truths of God’s Word and the life-giving power of the Holy Spirit. Because when everything else is shaken, what remains is what we’ve built on truth.

 

“If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

Psalm 11:3 (CSB)

 

Some of us are standing on solid ground. Others may feel like things beneath us are cracking—questions, doubts, or pressures revealing what’s been built over time. But this isn’t a series about fear—it’s about strengthening what lasts.

 

Week by week, we’ll walk through 12 essential truths every believer must know—truths that anchor our faith, shape our identity, and steady us in every season of life.

 

Our prayer is that you wouldn’t just hear truth—but be rooted in it. That your faith would grow deeper, stronger, and more resilient as you build your life on what cannot be shaken.

 

Because a solid life isn’t built on feelings, culture, or opinion—

it’s built on truth.

 

Don’t settle for a shallow foundation.

Build something that lasts.
